This book was released on 2006 with total page pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Electronic portfolios have received a great deal of attention in teacher education in the past ten to fifteen years. Commensurate with this attention has been the great deal of change in technologies that have contributed to electronic portfolio development. Throughout this evolution, three themes have emerged in the literature related to e-portfolios in teacher education. These themes include e-portfolios for learning, e-portfolios for evaluation and assessment, and e-portfolios for employment. This Executive Position Paper explores the themes in the literature along with a sampling of e-portfolio models to inform the creation of an electronic framework and e-portfolio model that integrates the components of learning, evaluation, assessment, and employment into one integrated tool. This paper focuses specifically on the developmental process for creating an integrated e-portfolio system for teacher education, and provides a plan to evaluate e-portfolios that result from the e-portfolio development process presented in this Executive Position Paper.

Download or read book Digital Portfolios in the Classroom written by Matt Renwick and published by ASCD. This book was released on 2017-08-31 with total page 176 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Assessment is messy. Day-to-day, in-the-moment assessments not only reveal information that drives future instruction but also offer a comprehensive picture of students’ abilities and dispositions toward learning. As teachers, we might know what this looks and feels like, yet it can be hard to put into action—hence the messiness. Say hello to digital student portfolios—dynamic, digital collections of authentic information from different media, in many forms, and with multiple purposes. Using digital portfolios to capture student thinking and progress allows us to better see our students as readers, writers, and learners—and help students see themselves in the same way! Matt Renwick’s Digital Portfolios in the Classroom is a guide to help teachers sort through, capture, and make sense of the messiness associated with assessment. By shining a spotlight on three types of student portfolios—performance, process, and progress—and how they can be used to assess student work, Renwick helps educators navigate the maze of digital tools and implement the results to drive instruction.
Book Synopsis A Tale of Two Programs by : Jeanne M. Grier
Download or read book A Tale of Two Programs written by Jeanne M. Grier and published by . This book was released on 2006 with total page 19 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Background: Teacher education programs in the State of California are increasingly held accountable for the assessment of teacher candidates' competencies and performance. One salient assessment tool is the utilization of portfolios in teacher education programs (Wolf, 1989; 1991). Among the newest and most innovative templates of portfolios in teacher education are electronic portfolios. Electronic portfolios are gaining popularity in part, due to the prevalence of their technological accessibility and the numerous on-line portfolio options. Purpose: The primary research question addressed was how do the constituents (e.g., credential candidates, faculty, and portfolio evaluators) perceive the electronic portfolio processes within and across the two teacher preparation programs. Setting: This study took place at a start-up public university across two fifth-year credential programs respectively-- the Education Specialist: Mild/Moderate Disabilities Level One and the Single Subject Credential Programs. Study Sample: Twenty credential candidates and six evaluators participated in the Education Specialist pilot assessment project. Twelve credential candidates and five evaluators participated in the Single Subject pilot assessment project. Intervention: Research Design: Qualitative Control or Comparison Condition: Data Collection and Analysis: Data were collected through detailed field notes, focus group interviews, and student portfolios. Data were coded by themes and analyzed. Findings: The two major themes of process and tool oriented issues related to the use of electronic portfolios emerged from the comparative data analysis within and across the two credential programs. Time, usability for evaluators, and management of the electronic environment were major findings. Conclusion: Overall, a portfolio must be and perceived as integrated into a teacher education program by students and faculty. It is important that portfolio elements aligned and goals and tasks are clear to the participants. Additionally, the time and resources needed to successfully implement and maintain a portfolio system must not be overlooked. Coordinating the players and tasks, evaluation of candidate work, evaluation of process, aggregation and analysis of data, data management, and maintenance of the process are all necessary elements in a successful portfolio assessment process.

Book Synopsis Evaluating Technology in Teacher Education by : Walt Heinecke
Download or read book Evaluating Technology in Teacher Education written by Walt Heinecke and published by IAP. This book was released on 2010-06-01 with total page 289 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Overall we come away from this project with a renewed sense of the complexity of evaluating the implementation and impact of technology in teacher education. In the post-PT3 period the federal government turned to large-scale experimental and quasi-experimental evaluations of educational technology but these have produced little in the way of understanding what types of technology work in various content areas under various conditions. PT3 and its approach to evaluation can be viewed as the pioneering period of educational technology evaluation in teacher education. It was a time when evaluators were just beginning to develop appropriate standards that could be used as evaluation criteria. It was a time when the accumulated wisdom of the evaluation field with regards to the primacy of mixed methods and multiple indicators of outcomes was just beginning to take hold. PT3 evaluators understood the importance of treading the line between summative and formative evaluation, and the relationship of evaluation to the improvement of educational practice. In a world where the policymakers now clamor for simple quantitative evaluations linking teacher preparation to pupil achievement scores, we are reminded that the causal chain from teacher preparation to in-service performance and student achievement is fraught with externalities, complexities and a less than equal playing field. Collectively we still have not figured out how technology may be adding value to education beyond any potential impact on superficial standardized test scores. We have as a nation, ignored the call of cognitive psychologists who in 2000 called for a new frame of reference for learner-centered, community-centered , assessment-centered and content-centered educational processes. They understood that the high stakes accountability systems hinder educational innovation and the release of technology's potential to unlock new ways of knowing and learning. Looking back now on the accomplishments of the PT3 program within our current political context, we see a need for more nuanced evaluation models that examine the relationship between pedagogy and technology integration, with a realization that teacher preparation programs will vary in their approaches to both. Some will focus on skills-based approaches, others on the relationship between pedagogical content knowledge and technology integration. The PT3 program served as an important incubator and test-bed of appropriate evaluation practice; we are already looking back at the program for lessons on how to move forward. We hope this volume may serve as a reminder of lessons for the future.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Higher education institutions of all kinds—across the United States and around the world—have rapidly expanded the use of electronic portfolios in a broad range of applications including general education, the major, personal planning, freshman learning communities, advising, assessing, and career planning.Widespread use creates an urgent need to evaluate the implementation and impact of eportfolios. Using qualitative and quantitative methods, the contributors to this book—all of whom have been engaged with the Inter/National Coalition for Electronic Portfolio Research—have undertaken research on how eportfolios influence learning and the learning environment for students, faculty members, and institutions.This book features emergent results of studies from 20 institutions that have examined effects on student reflection, integrative learning, establishing identity, organizational learning, and designs for learning supported by technology. It also describes how institutions have responded to multiple challenges in eportfolio development, from engaging faculty to going to scale. These studies exemplify how eportfolios can spark disciplinary identity, increase retention, address accountability, improve writing, and contribute to accreditation. The chapters demonstrate the applications of eportfolios at community colleges, small private colleges, comprehensive universities, research universities, and a state system.

Book Synopsis Teacher Candidate Perceptions of Electronic Portfolios by : William M. Baronak
Download or read book Teacher Candidate Perceptions of Electronic Portfolios written by William M. Baronak and published by . This book was released on 2011 with total page pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Today, many students in higher education are considered digital natives--savvier and more experienced with technology than students in the past. In teacher preparation programs, teacher education students are commonly expected to demonstrate achievement of program goals and objectives and national teaching standards in a "portfolio." Gaining in popularity, the electronic portfolio delivers meaningful rich data in an electronic format. Much of the research on electronic portfolios has centered in higher education and has been primarily focused on the delivery of portfolios from the perspective of faculty and on the role of the portfolio in assessment from an administrative perspective. With limited research on the student voice in the process of the creation and implementation of electronic portfolio, this research studied the perceptions of the electronic portfolio from the end-user, recent graduates in teacher education. Using a qualitative framework, recent graduates from a teacher preparation program were interviewed regarding their electronic portfolio experience. Qualitative data were collected via structured interviews on the process, preparation, and utilization of the electronic portfolio during the teacher education program. Additionally, the electronic portfolios of those interviewed provided document analysis. Several themes emerged that centered on the repetitive narrative of the narrative rationale statements, the utilitarian purposes of the portfolio, the impact of the portfolio assessment on portfolio changes, and the reflective nature of portfolio construction. The implications of this research extend to the use of electronic portfolios in higher education across disciplines and into k-12 education.
